School and work lunches workshop

With Term 1 well underway and the daily grind of school lunches becoming a ground hog day reality, I have been asked by numerous mothers to run another round of my school lunches workshops that I ran this time last year.  

As parents, we all want to raise happy, healthy, vibrant kids and the best place to start is with nutritious home-made meals made simple and easy.

---

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

---

In this jammed-pack 3 hour intensive workshop I will be covering the following:

1. why childhood chronic illnesses and degenerative diseases are becoming an epidemic.

2. why such illnesses didn't exist in traditional (pre-industrialised) societies.

3. what are some nutrient-dense wholefoods that will give your children the building blocks and energy they need to play, learn, concentrate, grow and function properly, and perform their very best.

4. why the source and processing of our food is paramount.

5. why nutrient-density and removal of toxins are key.

6. myth busting around saturated fats.

7. what's wrong with what children (and adults) are typically eating for lunch and snacks: the dangers of sugar, gluten and industrial seed oils.

8. a 3 step action plan!

9. equipment to have on hand.

10. how to deal with uneaten food, fussy eaters and food intolerance.

11. a 3 step process for transitioning from processed foods to nutrient-dense whole foods.

THE COST OF THE 3 HR WORKSHOP IS $100 PP + INCLUDES:

• Detailed theory discussion on the above
• Extensive detailed handout (almost 60 pages!) including theory, lunch box suggestions & recipes.
• Practical demonstrations.
• Hands-on experience.

THIS WORKSHOP IS IDEAL FOR:

---

1. Time-poor parents who need inspiration for super simple, quick and easy school lunches that are free of processed foods and made with nutrient-dense ingredients that are bursting with flavor.

2. Parents who are confused about what to pack for their children for lunch or morning tea, or want further ideas or inspiration.

3. Parents who have transitioned their children off, or wish to transition their children off, processed foods (eg gluten, refined grains, added sugars, industrial seed oils and packaged foods and drinks) but are not 100% clear on how to create a balanced lunch with nutrient-dense whole food ingredients. 

4. Parents whose children are constantly hungry throughout the day despite their lunch.

5. Parents who want to replace or reduce the amount of canteen lunches in favour of home-made nutritious lunches.

6. Parents whose children frequently succumb to colds and infections.

7. High school or uni students and adults who similarly want to know how to deal with the above issues for their own lunches.

Wild smoked salmon salad

This is a super simple and ultra nutrient-dense recipe you can throw together, perfect for a hot summer’s day when you don’t feel like cooking. I buy salmon from The Canadian Way because it is the only truly wild (as opposed to farmed) non-tinned salmon available in Australia (you can read more about wild versus farmed fish in one of my earlier posts here). Wild salmon from The Canadian Way has an unmatched omega 3 to 6 ratio of around 10:1 making it so very anti-inflammatory (farmed salmon has higher amounts of 6 to 3, making it pro-inflammatory).

True wild salmon from cold waters, swimming upstream, is not only a source of anti-aging, anti-inflammatory omega 3s, but also a high quality source of protein, tryptophan, vitamin D, B12, B6 (when eaten raw/rare) and powerful anti-oxidants such as selenium.

The Canadian Way products are sold at various stockists listed on their website AND they also home deliver. Please be sure to tell the owner David I referred you. Note- I don’t get any commissions or kick backs at all from promoting this company. I only advocate businesses whose products or services I personally use and trust.

There is a plethora of certified organic salmon on the market. Don’t be fooled by the certified organic label. They are STILL farmed fish. And a farmed fish is never going to be as nutritional as a wild fish. Read more here about my views on whether organic certification is necessary.

INGREDIENTS.

• Wild smoked salmon (allow 100-150g per person)

• Leafy greens such as one or more of rocket, parsley or lettuce (allow one handful per person)

• Lebanese cucumber, thinly sliced in rounds (allow 1/3 cucumber per person)

• Avocado, cut into cubes (allow 1/2 avocado per person)

• Red onion, thinly sliced in rings (allow a few rings per person)

• Crème Fraiche or sour cream (allow a few dollops per person)

• Capers

• Lemon juice

• Extra virgin cold pressed olive oil

• Sea salt

• Cracked pepper
